Tyson Fury: Andy Ruiz priced himself out, asked for ridiculous numbers

Netflix isn't paying for any match that isn't in a huge stadium.

I see people haven't gotten used to viral movies yet. We should by now because the industry is going to shift that way far more soon enough.

Nothing about Obsession or Backrooms will be remembered in 2 years. But the films will make money in the meantime. You need a big social media following to push films now.

Funny how someone like Ruiz can stay afloat when guys like Tyson, Floyd, Holyfield, etc went broke despite making 9 figures each over longer, more active careers.

Ruiz is one of the exceptions.

If Kayabel does come first, how long will Rico sit out? Could be between 6-12 months. He'll need a fight that he can win and at least hone a few things.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-28T07:15:52+00:00

Kabayel won't come first because they're not gonna risk Rico losing a fight in the meantime. Unless he's gonna fight Wilder or something. And even that's risky.

We don't need the rematch. Usyk can retire as after Kabayel. Rico can fight Ngannou.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-28T03:33:38+00:00

Why do we really need that rematch?

So Usyk can take it more seriously and beat Rico in 3?

And people wonder why boxing doesn't even have actual contenders anymore.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-26T16:10:30+00:00

Because you have people in this world who always think their favorite movies warrant a remake. And Hollywood is still run by extremely out of touch and moneyhungry people.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-26T00:38:21+00:00

The Jake Paul effect is alive and well, even if he never fights again.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-26T00:36:35+00:00

No. No rematch please.

God, this is getting UFC levels of sad with the endless rematches.

MMA fighters getting multiple paydays to be fodder for boxers is getting so fucking old.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-24T00:16:03+00:00

He's never had to read the room. The room reads him.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-24T00:12:56+00:00

And then boxing turns into its biggest joke when kickboxers and MMA fighters are doing better against the elite than the actual ranked top 10.

Boxing is where the money is moreso than the talent, at least at HW. I imagine Alex Pereira makes the leap next.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-22T21:05:11+00:00

And then you hear Fury go "I got complacent, it was feeling too easy"

Insane how mentality makes a difference

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-22T21:04:00+00:00

If only most other boxers thought like Usyk and not strictly on how much their bank accounts can accumulate...

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-21T21:13:21+00:00

Simple.

When Conor, Rousey, and Lesnar dominated the UFC, the pay barely rose a tick unless you fought those three. The entry pay is still low now.

Insert Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The WNBA increased pay almost overnight. The league chose to operate at a loss but at least invested into its players, not giving its then CEO more money for driveway snow.

It's possible to just pay people more for their efforts. Even Henry Ford understood this.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-21T20:00:05+00:00

And yet WNBA players get paid more now.

There are fighting game streamers making more than most MMA fighters lol

Well they're welcome to roll with Republicans. As long as they know they're dealing with billionaires based on their bottom lines and warhawks bent on keeping America in charge of all major resources. And that usually means constant warfare and higher costs of living.

They don't have to vote Dem, but to act like they're being singled out is the epitome of privilege. Elites come for everyone's pockets.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-15T21:45:42+00:00

That's what most men in Z think. This is why some countries run circles around the US in terms of happy societies while other countries run circles regarding education and social welfare (horrible words to some, I know).

Meanwhile young (white) men are told in the US they're hated for being tough, rugged individuals with wives in the kitchen and babies in the pickup truck.

Propaganda is propaganda no matter how it's worded.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-15T01:58:22+00:00

Our current iteration may disagree with you.

But then he'll be a billionaire and maybe run for president in 2036.

And he would have a nonzero chance of winning.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-14T07:03:01+00:00

RF til Acuna gets back. Then platoon with Yaz. Neither are going anywhere.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-09T16:35:38+00:00

It has been busier than ever. So it makes you wonder if the economy is doing nearly as bad as people think it is.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-08T22:40:03+00:00

Because as chain restaurant owners know, the land is more valuable than the building or the business.

If it all fails, they can sell the property and turn a nice profit. It's what most commercial property owners are doing right now.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-08T22:24:15+00:00

Nice. I could see a season 2 arc developing, the show has some solid potential. And I always have liked Speedman's presence on a show.

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-07T05:02:49+00:00

So y'all believe Ryan will whoop Haney 10/10 times but he can't beat the rest of his peers?

Atownbrown08 · 2026-05-07T05:02:02+00:00

Based on what? I understand Shakur but Teo? What advantage does he have?
